7/1

With cheekpieces added, doubled his tally in 15-runner event at Leopardstown (9f, soft) in June. Has continued in good heart subsequently and another good run seems on the cards.

Frank Pickle³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Wayne Lordan| T: Mrs D Foster| OR: 79| D

10/1

Better than ever when winning 13-runner handicap at Leopardstown (1m) in July. Failed to repeat that effort from a 7 lb higher mark at Gowran, though. Bounce back needed.

Form: 60-4518

(12)

Harana^p³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld| OR: 79

8/1

Well-bred daughter of Ghaiyyath who improved when winning maiden at Ballinrobe (1¼m) in June. Shaped better than distance beaten suggests at Leopardstown but failed to land a telling blow over this trip at Gowran latest.

Form: 2-35157

Sonoran^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 79

9/1

Ran better than for a while when fifth of 12 in handicap at the Curragh (1¼m, good) 17 days ago. Remains to be seen if able to back that up.

Form: 036995

Exquisite Acclaim^v²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Sam Coen⁽⁵⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 78| D

33/1

Resumed winning ways at Dundalk in January but been a mixed bag since, no more than respectable fourth at Galway (7f) latest. Others more convincing.

Form: 073604

Marmeladova¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Billy Lee| T: K J Condon| OR: 76

13/2

Impressed with the way she went through the race when doubling her tally at Leopardstown (1¼m) in July. Poor efforts next 2 starts but got back on track to some extent when fifth of 8 in 1m handicap at aforementioned track on latest outing.

Form: 321065

Cala Bonita^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Robbie Colgan| T: M J Smith| OR: 75| D

25/1

Proved better than ever when winning 13-runner handicap at Galway (8.5f) in July, suited by strong pace. Not disgraced in a better race at Dundalk subsequently but others look better treated.

Form: 484719

Great Mover¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Paddy Harnett⁽³⁾| T: W McCreery| OR: 74

6/1

Easy Gowran winner in September. Largely in good form since, finishing fifth of 12 in 1¼m handicap at the Curragh on most recent outing.

Form: 632605

No More Porter^p,t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 74| D

17/2

Wasted no time getting back to form despite not being seen to best effect when third of 10 in handicap at the Curragh (1m, good to firm) 24 days ago, faring best of those held up. Not taken lightly.

Form: 023283

(9)

Zaraahmando^t³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Andrew Slattery| T: A Slattery| OR: 74| D

9/2

Ran well once more when second of 13 to Cala Bonita in handicap at Galway (8.4f, soft, 5/1) 34 days ago. Likely to continue in form.

Form: 062332

Anvika^t⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Rory Cleary| T: S Lavery| OR: 73

9/1

Turned in best effort of the season from 3 lb out of the handicap when sixth of 11 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to firm) 55 days ago, slowly away. Threatening to come good soon but could do with cutting out the tardy starts.

Form: 800336

(21)

Halon Bay^p1⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Coen| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR: 76

25/1

Much improved when winning 9-runner maiden at Leopardstown (7f) in May. However, handed a stiff-looking mark on the back of that and beat only one home in 6-runner handicap at Limerick the following month. Given a break since and now fitted with first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 8415

Only One Scobie¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Leigh Roche| T: P W Flynn| OR: 76| D

20/1

Bounced back to form with a career-best win at Killarney (1m, good) 12 days ago, comfortably. Seemed to be no fluke about that and he's respected bidding to follow up from an 8 lb higher mark.

Slight Of Foot²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: R P Cody| OR: 73

20/1

Turned in his best effort of the season in a first-time hood when third of 15 in claimer at Gowran (1m, good to firm, 28/1) 21 days ago, never nearer. Needs to back that up now returning to handicap company.

Form: 694093

Dream Legend⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Terry Casey⁽⁷⁾| T: E D Delany| OR: 69| D

12/1

Showed further progress to resume winning ways in 15-runner handicap at Bellewstown (1m, good, 9/2) 62 days ago, well on top finish. Hit with a 13 lb rise, however. RESERVE.

A competitive, big-field handicap. DALER has been holding his form well since doubling his career tally at Leopardstown in June and looks a solid proposition off top weight. Zaraahmando, No More Porter and Anvika are all shortlisted.
